Under the direction of Major General Oliver O. Howard, the agency furnished rations to refugees and freedpeople displaced by the war, established freedmen schools and hospitals, supervised the development of a contract labor system, and created military tribunals to adjudicate legal disputes. Though operations ceased in Georgia and other states as early as 1870, the bureau remained a functioning federal agency until 1872, when Congress allowed its authorization to expire.

Answer 1

The Freedmen's Bureau aimed to feed refugees, educate formerly enslaved individuals, establish a labor system, and set up hospitals for the care of formerly enslaved people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freedmen's Bureau, formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, had several goals during its operation post-Civil War. Among its objectives were to help feed refugees of any race who were displaced by the war, to educate formerly enslaved people to help prepare them for citizenship, to establish a system of labor to help transition from a slave-based economy, and to set up hospitals for formerly enslaved people to provide medical care, many of whom had never received such treatment before.

The goal to create a labor union for formerly enslaved people, however, was not historically one of the goals of the Freedmen's Bureau. Additionally, to help elect African American candidates was also not an explicit goal of the agency but may have been a consequence of the broader movement towards African American civil rights which the Bureau supported indirectly through education and assistance in legal matters.
